1. This dude just got ripped of 7 grand
2. Cuando no los gringos robandonos oro y cosas de nuestra historia :/
3. Wow that's a beautiful coin and it was authentic I would've sell it to a coin collector for the full 18000.
4. Not sure why so many people ask why he didn't sell the coin for whats it worth and calling Rick a scam artist. He runs a pawn store. Thats their business. You think he's going to paying $18K for a coin that he could sell for $18K? How is he going to stay in business? A most people aren't internet savvy enough to sell something themselves and if they goto a auction house, they'll have to pay a hefty commission and possibly be taxed as well. Plus the guy would have to take it to a individual who can give them a documentation of authenticity for the item before someone is willing to spend $18K. The rule of thumb for this kind of business is to double your money. Thats the goal. Something is worth $100, you offer them $50. Thats just the nature of the business. Some of the people who comment below don't seem too knowledgeable in business and are just focused on the dollar amount.
5. It was a mistake to bring rick to just check if it's was fake just take the coin for 2k and eZ profit 😂😂😂
6. And then they're gonna put it up on sale.. for 50k. 🤔🤑
7. What breaks my heart is that this gambling addicts Grandfather probably cherished that coin, and this peasants eyes lit up like an addicts do when the prospect of obtaining their fix is presented "its worth about 18,ooo" -
   "wow i was only expecting like 1500, ill dump it for whatever i can get!"
   sad sad sad.

11. "i need 18,000!"
    
    "a bag of skittles is all i can do"
    
    "no i need the 18,000"
    
    "Sorry a half a glass of flavored water thats all i can do."
12. You have it graded by NGC and you keep this treasure for life, such a shame to sell this kind of stuff like that...
13. Dude, you are a IDIOT! You're trading a rare piece of history for common paper money.. Such an idiot.
14. Ricks buddy: I'd say it's about 500,000
    
    Rick: how much you want
    
    Seller: sounds like 500,000
    
    Rick: no it don't, I'll give you a dollar
15. should have gone $15,000 at least
16. $5
17. so you find out something is worth 18k, take 11k? sure! unless you absolutely need money instantly why sell it there! you're just giving away money to a fat slop in a pawn shop and his family of fatter slobs. just put it on the Internet and find a collector!
18. he looks like the type of person who is going to go straight to the casino and blow his grandpa's coin money
19. Made in Lima Peru
20. should have just bought it for 2k the guy wanted.
